(Remember that literacy was pretty hit-or-miss back then. Juana never learned to read or write, and signed all her legal documents with the sign of the cross.) <br />Dan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603209997260423532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-70627441128052128742018-03-08T14:19:17.464-08:002018-03-08T14:19:17.464-08:00is there a book update?

Image Courtesy of Point Reyes National Seashore Museum." I also found at least two reputable websites where this photo is indexed by Google but no longer to be found there.

Briones and her family moved there, just outside the Presidio borders - thus becoming the first non-Indian San Franciscans to live somewhere other than on the Presidio or at Mission Dolores. The waters of the spring were visible until 1912, and it is said that they still run under the site of her long-vanished house."</i><br />& <i>"At the bottom of the steps, there is an odd indentation in the adjoining Presidio wall, a notch occupied by six houses. That notch in the otherwise ruler-straight Presidio boundary is a tangible reminder of one of the most remarkable and inspiring figures in San Francisco history - Juana Briones."</i><br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/jhHy42dNFis" rel="nofollow">video - El Polín Spring/Tennessee Hollow Watershed/Presidio - purported photo? of Juana ~ :50 in</a><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/mRcNcCDME-w" rel="nofollow">video 2016, El Polín</a><br /><a href="https://sf.curbed.com/2012/5/30/10366832/welcome-el-polin-the-newest-ancient-spring-in-the-presidio" rel="nofollow">article</a><br /><a href="https://sf.curbed.com/tag/in-the-presidio" rel="nofollow">Presidio related pieces</a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juana_Briones_de_Miranda" rel="nofollow">wiki on Juana Briones de Miranda</a>remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-19367509591780349132018-03-03T05:42:55.973-08:002018-03-03T05:42:55.973-08:00I was looking for videos about the Challenge and t...I was looking for videos about the Challenge and tried [Presidio historical houses] [2601 Lyon Street] among others and found these interesting videos<br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/1iHoWTD9Hc0" rel="nofollow">History of the Presidio: The Walt Disney Family Museum</a><br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/DCApS9R2_wY" rel="nofollow">I love the trees at 3:55 in the video </a><br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/KcyNzkMIJXc" rel="nofollow">Presidio in WWII </a><br /><br />Ramon Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129830563029534511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-39347298564397210502018-03-02T20:58:42.533-08:002018-03-02T20:58:42.533-08:00nice photo find Jon - good view of the Palace of F...nice photo find Jon - good view of the Palace of Fine Arts… prior to houses… still cars on the street, cats in the air? ;-P<br /><a href="https://imgur.com/a/PLD0S" rel="nofollow">1919</a><br /><a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org:82/record=b1009379" rel="nofollow">SFPL</a>remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-33216753759353115852018-03-02T17:54:46.923-08:002018-03-02T17:54:46.923-08:00Great!

This is where I realized that Figueroa (the name on the property) was not only Governor but also military commandant of the Presidio (a general, no less).<br /><br />(The 1919 photo on your latest comment is a great find too.)Luís Miguel Viterbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198394145108636883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-12877968549972068702018-03-02T16:43:38.128-08:002018-03-02T16:43:38.128-08:00IF I already posted this today, Dan, please ignore...IF I already posted this today, Dan, please ignore; its a long day<br /><br /><br />Still poking around, I find that https://calisphere.org/item/a2e7e4d29f93b1c90f91855da4f36883/ has a photo of the Miranda Tract shortly before it was built upon--1919.<br /><br />jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450649073262987652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-30146090728944009472018-03-02T12:29:20.975-08:002018-03-02T12:29:20.975-08:00…is this the SF of the past or future?
